LED channel letters are an ideal solution for businesses that operate after dark, as they are highly visible, customizable and energy efficient.
LED-fabricated letters offer the flexibility of either halo or face illumination and come complete with deep returns for an aesthetically pleasing finish.
The LED Rail replaces traditional channel letter lighting with solid state illumination for easier installation and greater performance than neon.
Brightness
No matter if your LED strip channel lights are for back lighting, face lighting, halo lighting or any other purpose – they should be bright enough to catch passersby’s eye and draw their attention to your sign. Too dim an illumination could compromise its impact; too bright could cause eyestrain and possibly injury.
Brightness in channel letter signs is determined by their aluminum LED strip installation channels and how much light passes through them. Channels typically come equipped with either anodized or brushed aluminum surfaces and often include PMMA or PC polycarbonate as light diffusers for additional lighting effects. Aluminum end caps and mounting brackets may also be included.

Durability
Channel letter signage can help increase visibility for your business. However, it is essential that the sign you choose can withstand harsh environmental conditions and last for years. Materials typically used include aluminum or acrylic which are very durable materials capable of withstanding harsh weather conditions and repeated UV radiation exposure.
Location should also be taken into consideration when selecting a sign, as its exposure to salt air could hasten its deterioration over time and sunlight cause its colors to fade over time.
LED lighting is an energy-efficient choice for channel letters and is an eco-friendly alternative to neon. However, regular maintenance of your signage remains important; cleaning away dirt or grime, checking pests from underneath it and checking wires for damage is still necessary.
Energy Efficiency
LED channel letter signage is up to 80% more energy-efficient than neon, leading to significant savings on long-term energy costs.
Front lit channel letters create an upscale appearance and provide great day or night visibility, making them the ideal solution for retail and restaurant signage. Featuring translucent acrylic faces and aluminum backings, these channel letters create an eye-catching presence at retail establishments and eateries alike.
Reverse-lit channel letters are constructed from aluminum and acrylic materials, with LED or neon tubing for illumination installed to form the “halo effect,” which can be colored to suit your business.
LED-illuminated channel letter signs require smaller transformers, thus using less electricity – an energy savings you will notice on your utility bill! SloanLED has developed an extensive line of LED modules for channel letter and sign cabinet applications 3-8″ deep that employ Constant Current circuit design to reduce light loss over long runs and 3-Step white binning for greater color consistency; their parts and labor assistance warranty lasts 10 years too!
Customization
Channel letter signage is one of the most effective and popular means of advertising your business name and logo. These internally illuminated 3 dimensional letters/logos can be placed indoors or outdoors to spread brand recognition and increase business awareness.
LEDs are becoming an increasingly popular choice for lighted signs as they consume less energy and last longer than traditional neon tubes. Furthermore, they’re up to 80% more efficient at producing intensive illumination over a distance and come in various colors that allow users to create different visual effects.
Color plays an integral role in creating the overall appearance of channel letter signs, and EZM SIGN offers a selection of stock acrylic colors, translucent vinyl overlays and digitally printed films to choose from. Trimcap colors can also be customized to complement the hue of an acrylic face for better airflow while protecting it against dust, debris and wild animals.
